Ed Miliband is a fucking clown—and his policies are almost as terrifying.

As my few remaining readers will know, your humble Devil has been steering clear of politics. However, it would be remiss of me not to comment on the idiocies being pushed by the idiot leader of Red Labour.

One would have thought that after bankrupting the bloody country—again—the Labour Party might have learned some fucking humility. Apparently not.

Ed Miliband—a man so creepy in person that you feel like scrubbing yourself with a wire brush in a shower for three hours after meeting him—is determined to bring socialism back to the country.

Because that's always worked so well, eh?

A small sample of his rampant stupidity can be found in this Telegraph article (which focuses on Grayling's response).

The Labour leader used a question-and-answer session in Brighton to outline a series of measures which the Tories say shows the party is shifting to the Left and can only be funded by higher taxes.

We are pretty much all done as far as raising taxes is concerned: it will be very difficult to get any more out of the population of this country, frankly.

Another fact that Labour are keeping quiet about is that they introduced a similar restriction on Housing Benefit for tenants of private landlords (they called it Local Housing Allowance) in 2008 but then it was acceptable to for the government to “to provide an incentive for those on Housing Benefit to find cheaper accommodation.” Does Labour think that those lucky enough to be in social housing shouldn’t have the same incentives?

Of course, we expect Labour to be screaming hypocrites—but this reaches new levels.

— as well as capping bonuses for bankers and stopping the building of free schools.

Because Free Schools have been so hugely unpopular with the people of this country, eh? This is Labour pandering to their union paymasters again—the teaching unions loathe free schools because it weakens the power of the union thugs.

And, of course, Free Schools actually teach children some knowledge—something that the unionised teachers of this country can't stand. At least, we must assume that they can't stand it because they have utterly failed to provide an adequate schooling for the last forty years.

Mr Miliband also wishes to destroy the concept of the Common Law—most especially the concept that everyone is equal under it.

He also outlined measures which included the possibility of separate sectors, such as finance, IT or construction, being made to pay their own, higher, minimum wages.

Most of those sectors actually do pay higher minimum wages because you cannot get someone to work in those sectors for less than about double the minimum wage.

Regardless, the principal of singling out certain industries for special treatment will inevitably lead to corruption. For fuck's sake, Miliband, the actions of the government in Atlas Shrugged are supposed to be a warning—not a blueprint for your policies![1]

But this utter clown cannot even understand what he's advocating.

Asked when he would “bring back socialism”, he replied: “That’s what we are doing.

Oh, goody-goody gum-drops! Socialism has been such a brilliant success all over the world, I cannot imagine why you wouldn't want to bring it back, eh?

It is about fighting the battle for economic equality...

Economic equality? How the hell does that square with you giving some industries an economic advantage over others, as with your insane minimum wage proposals? Eh?

... for social equality and for gender equality too. That is a battle that is not yet won in our country.”

Oh, FFS.

In another policy announcement, Mr Miliband said that large firms would have to train a British apprentice for every worker that they bring from overseas. He said that the policy would create 125,000 new apprentices in five years.

The mind boggles, it really does. Seriously, is this Miliband's idea of how you grow an economy—or, in fact, is he trying to legislate us all back to the 70s?

Oh, wait, I forgot: Miliband wouldn't know how to grow an economy or a business—because he is simply a pig-ignorant, over-privileged, champagne-socialist, hypocritical, Communist policy-wonk who has done nothing but suckle at the state teat for his entire life. This man has no idea about the real world, about building a business, about hardship, or about anything really.

Ed Miliband is a fucking clown.

Some years ago, we sent hundreds of copies of 1984 to MPs. How about we start a new meme, and see if we can get hundreds of pairs of fucking clown shoes delivered to Miliband's door...

And deliver the red nose personally. With my fist.

[1] It's worth pointing out that Ayn Rand was escaping from the horrors of Communist Russia at about the same time as Ed Miliband's father—along with most of the other progenitors of the bien pensant Islington set of today—was writing about how utterly wonderful it all was.

These evil people were still propping up the Communist regime in Russia in the eighties. After the wall came down—and the true horrors were finally revealed, irrefutably—many of these useful idiots recanted, often pleading ignorance.

Ignorance? Ha! Hergé depicted prison camps and Potemkin Villages in Tintin in the Land of the Soviets—which was published in 1930.

One can only hope that if Labour do get in at the next election, which looks likely - at least going by the current mood of 'bash the rich' and 'bash the bankers' gathering traction among the stupid, they really do go nuclear and ... oh dear, that's where my dreams for the future unravel, would the Conservatives really do that much better?

I have totally and absolutely no hope or faith left in our "Politicians", because they are all "middle class" "over privileged" arseholes, who wouldn't know what real life was if it jumped up and bit them in the arse! They may as well all be in the same party for all the use they are. We have been cursed with an un-elected coalition government, that is led by the worst prime-minister in British history, that has the worst chancellor in British history, the worst cabinet, and the worst opposition party, led by the worst leader of the opposition in British history to boot! What hope is there for the future?

It was the tories that left us in the shit the last time which labour had to get us out of.

I am no fan of labour but id rather have them than the tories or libs. to give a vote to the greens or ukip is giving a vote to the tories...

"Quote Which is odd, really, because they didn't call it that when they removed the subsidy for people with spare rooms in private rental accommodation.If the tories hadn't sold our council houses we wouldn't have to go into private rent. oh and since we joined the eu we have people coming in from other parts of europe that we have to pay for they get our houses and our benefits and those that are working are willing to work for peanuts. (before you say anything I am in full time employment).

"Quote as well as capping bonuses for bankers and stopping the building of free schools.

They were building houses schools which was stopped by tories Yes they were stupid enough to give control of the banks back to the bank of England. The banks giving loans beyond peoples means causing many to go bankrupt is what partly caused the bank crash and the fat bonuses of the bank bosses.

"Quote In another policy announcement, Mr Miliband said that large firms would have to train a British apprentice for every worker that they bring from overseas. He said that the policy would create 125,000 new apprentices in five years.

I agree with you on this one what they need to do is bring us out of the eu stop immigration until this country is sorted then bring in stricter immigration laws. just my opinon

Labour or Tories hate them both but id rather give my vote to Labour than the tories.
